I watched this fight a few times, Castillo started to late IMO. He lost too many of the early rounds. I thought castillo would dominate in the rematch but...

It was a close fight. I had Floyd up after the first 6 rounds, as he controlled most the action and won those rounds with his jab, rather easily. The last 6 rounds, Castillo was winning, effectively trapping Floyd on the ropes, the most trouble I've ever seen Floyd have. I had Castillo winning by 1 point, scoring the rounds 6-5-1 Castillo when I watched it live.
Castillo was the victim of getting started too late. Still, they rematched immediatley and Floyd won handily and convincingly, without controversy. Something Manny hasn't done yet with Marquez.

That one wasn't as obvious because it was close, but Arum was going to have cotto winning that no matter what.
Arum seriously needs to get investigated and thrown in jail. How are you going to fix a life and death warrior sport? He's been doing it for decades now.

I don't think Cotto got a gift in the Clottey fight. If your the underdog you have to go out and win impressively to get a decision. Clottey pretty much handed the fight to Cotto in the late rounds. I feel the same way about Pac/JMM III. Marquez should have known he was never going to get a decision in a close fight, yet he still went out the last few rounds as if he had it in the bag. He has no one to blame but himself.
Abril definitely got robbed against Rios though. No one watching that fight could say Rios won more than 2 rounds tops. And Floyd definitely lost the Castillo fight. Who cares what happened in the rematch. That first fight wasn't even close. That was a robbery.
